Features
Experience ultimate comfort in every step with the New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6. The best miles are the ones where you barely notice your feet—this everyday training shoe delivers everyday versatility and the most cushioned Fresh Foam X experience yet.
In our Fresh Foam X More v6 review, run tester Caroline said "They feel like slippers that you want to run in. Soft, light and just plain good."
Details:
- Upper: The soft, luxurious material feels breathable even on those hot summer runs, while the padded heel collar provides comfort without irritation. The gusseted tongue creates a secure lockdown fit, and extra eyelets let you customize your lacing for the perfect feel. Plus, long laces give you options like the marathon loop to prevent heel slippage and reflective details help keep you visible during early morning or evening runs.
- Midsole: The Fresh Foam X compound delivers incredible comfort with that perfect balance of soft and compressive cushioning. You get maximum foam underfoot without feeling clunky or smushy—it's substantial enough to keep your feet from sinking in while still providing that plush, protective feel your legs crave.
- Outsole: The strategically placed outsole gives you durability and traction while reducing weight.
What's New
The More v6 brings back that perfect softness that runners loved in earlier versions while maintaining the stability improvements from recent updates. The Fresh Foam X midsole has been refined to deliver maximum comfort without feeling too firm, creating that ideal sensation where the cushioning adapts to your stride.
Who It's Best For
The New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 welcomes cushion-lovers who want as much foam as possible without the bulk. It's perfect for runners seeking pure comfort on easy days when pace doesn't matter, people who spend long hours on their feet and anyone who needs maximum protection and support for recovery runs, walks or extended training sessions.
Why You'll Love It
When your legs are tired and you need that extra comfort to keep moving forward, you'll love how the More v6 adapts to support you exactly when and how you need it most.
